How long for new cymbal to patina?

Loading...

How long will it take a new b8 cymbal to lose its initial new shine? Years for a patina, but when would you first notice a difference?

Some of today's cymbals have a protective lacquer coating that prevents oxidation... in the past I'd buy a new cymbal and after a couple months in a smoky bar and handling it would notice tarnishing- but I bought a new ride 4 years ago and with no smoking (and the coating) it looks new... Some guys remove the coating and bury them in the back yard to get them oxidizing.... I'd not suggest such a thing as I like the shine...
